BROWNSVILLE — Ruben Cortez Jr. will be sworn in as a new member to the State Board of Education at a ceremony which will be held on Tuesday at Porter High School. Mr. Cortez says he would like to see more technology used in the classrooms as well as change in standardized testing, which he is not in favor of, "For the last couple of years the Valley has not had appropriate committees that helps us as a region down here shape the curriculum in the State of Texas, with me being elected to the board, that will change."
